Habs promote Dionne, Chabot

Habs promote Dionne, Chabot The Telegraph- Journal FREDERICTON Injuries to Denis Savard and Patrick Roy have forced the Montreal Canadiens to recall Gilbert Dionne and Frederic Chabot from their American Hockey League affiliate in Fredericton. Dionne and Chabot joined the National Hockey League club on Sunday after Roy and Savard were injured in a game Saturday against Buffalo. Roy has a sore left ankle while Savard has a bruised right thumb. Both are out on a day- 10-day basis. It is Dionne's second stint with the NHL club this season. He played one game against Quebec on Nov. 19. Dionne is the second leading scorer on the AHL Canadiens with 31 goals and 45 assists for 76 points in 72 games. Chabot also spent some time with the big club from Jan. 30 to Feb. 4, posting a 0-0-1 record. In 34 games in the AHL this season, Chabot has a 9-15-4 record and a 4.10 goals against average. Since Jean-Claude Bergeron was assigned to the Canadiens two weeks ago, Chabot hasn't even dressed as Bergeron's back-up. Alain Morrissette has assumed those duties. However, with the AHL club locked in a struggle to make the playoffs in the Northern Division, the NHL Habs elected to leave Bergeron in Fredericton and have Chabot backup Andre Racicot until Roy heals. Fredericton and Halifax are tied for the fifth and final playoff spot in the Northern Division, with the Citadels holding one game in hand. The Baby Habs host the second place Moncton Hawks on Thursday and Saturday at the Aitken Centre.
